In the episode "PJ Harvey & John Parish", the podcast kicks off its Women's History Month celebrations with an exclusive interview with PJ Harvey, one of the most influential songwriters of our time. With her debut album Dry (1992), dubbed an "instant classic" by the LA Times, and its follow-up Rid of Me, which inspired Nirvana's In Utero, PJ Harvey has continued to reinvent her sound over more than ten albums and three decades. Her latest work, I Inside the Old Year Dying, impressively demonstrates how she explores musical boundaries while retaining the raw power of her songwriting.

In this episode, Justin Richmond talks to Polly (PJ Harvey) and her longtime musical partner John Parish, who co-produced the new album with Flood. Together they reflect on their creative process, the particular beauty of Polly's recent work and their shared love of Captain Beefheart, which connected them back in the 80s. PJ Harvey fans - and music lovers in general - should not miss this exciting conversation about music and art.

The podcast is in English, so it's perfect for anyone who wants to brush up on their English while listening to exciting music conversations.
